   superuser.com › questions › 66825

   Dec 20, 2019 · This means that Windows will allocate 4096 bytes for any file or portion of a file that is from 1 to 4096 bytes in length. If I have a file that is 17KB (kilo bytes), then the Size on disk would be 20.48 KB (or 20480 bytes). The calculation would be 4096 (1 allocation unit) x 5 = 20480 bytes. It takes 5 allocation units to hold a 17KB file.

   superuser.com › questions › 938234

   27. One "kilobyte" (KB) is 1024 bytes in JEDEC-standard, whereas the definition has shifted, in most contexts, to mean 1000 bytes (kB) in accordance with SI. To resolve this difference, binary prefixes (kiB) are used. So we have 3 choices for using prefixes - JEDEC, IEC (both in Binary), and Metric (in Decimal). My questions are:

   Aug 21, 2024 · Kilobytes are mostly used to measure the size of small files. For example, a simple text document may contain 10 KB of data and therefore it would have a file size of 10 kilobytes. Graphics of small websites are often between 5 KB and 100 KB in size. Individual files typically take up a minimum of four kilobytes of disk space. 1 KB = 1,024 Bytes

   What is the file size on disk?

   • The file size on disk would be 4096 bytes. The reason is, because even though the entire file can fit inside one allocation unit, it still takes up 4096 of space (one allocation unit) on disk (only one file can use an allocation unit and cannot be shared with other files).

   Why does a file size change from KB to GB?

   • This is because computers use a binary system to store data. As a result, when you convert a file size from bytes to KB, MB, or GB, the result will be slightly different from what you see in Windows. For example, I have a folder, its size is 209 MB (219,529,216 bytes) (As shown in folder properties).

   Why does Windows OS show file size in KB?

   • Why Windows OS show size of files in KB (using a capital alphabet "K") when it's a small alphabet "k" for a Kilo in SI units. Again, because it's the JEDEC 100B.01 standard for unit prefixes for semiconductor storage capacity; it's not an SI unit of measure and thus does not have the same meaning.

   A byte is made up of 8 bits which is essentially just a true/false or on/off flag for computers expressed as the numbers 0 (false) and 1 (not false). For example, the letter “a” looks like this in binary: 01100001. All those zeros and ones tell the computer to print an “a” on the screen. You can think of a byte as a single character or ...
